Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 95 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(1) the degree of negligence or bad faith on the part of the government; (2) the importance of the evidence lost; and (3) other evidence of guilt adduced at trial.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“there is no assurance that the jurors, when weighing the evidence, would agree whether the defendant had performed a specific act. The danger is that some jurors will convict upon evidence of one act and the balance upon evidence submitted for other acts. There will be no unanimous verdict as to defendant’s guilt in regard to the single offense charged. An analogous danger ... is that jurors will be swayed by the quantum of proof introduced as to all the acts when, in fact, there has been insufficient proof on any one of the alleged acts standing alone.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the concurrencee.g. State v. Bonilla“[T]he omission must be evaluated in the context of the entire record. United States v. Agurs, supra, 427 U.S. at 112 , 96 S.Ct. at 2402 . We note there was strong evidence of defendant’s guilt in this case. He made several damaging admissions to the arresting officer concerning his presence and conduct during the incident. He admitted to the officer that “he knew she was too young to be with him.” We also note the fact that the complaining witness took the stand herself and testified in detail to the events of that day.”
